    End of Hummel?

    you'd assume someone will end up with ownership of the existing stock from the administrator and they will sell it off

    End of Hummel?

    I don't think Prior to Elite Sports Hummel had much interest in the UK, they weren't around for years were they? I guess what is big sales for us is pretty insignificant for them and unless someone wants to pick up the license, which presumably Hummel charge a decent fee for, they'll just...

    End of Hummel?

    wonder how the figures stack up for getting them made themselves. there's fans who knock up great designs and there's companies that print the shirts. although with our level of organisation that might be a disaster waiting to happen. not like our kits are on sale in stores around the country.

    End of Hummel?

    not sure anyone else is doing much. Everton deal direct with Hummel not Elite Sports so doesn't impact them. A couple of clubs, such as Southampton, seem to have managed to get the administrator to release existing stock and a couple of others, such as Oldham have open cash only club shops with...

    End of Hummel?

    Bit odd that Hummel wouldn't look to get a new UK licensee to replace Elite Sports. Back to shitty template kits it is then.

    Doug King Takeover

    from what the chap I worked with told me this was very much the issue. several schemes were suggested, none even got as far as plans being formally drawn up as they were met with a very firm 'not a chance' even at the stage of initial discussions some of them were at bit bonkers and you started...

    Doug King Takeover

    I did some work a few years back with the chap who was in charge of maintenance at HR and he said behind the scenes it was a complete mess and an accident waiting to happen. They were constantly doing bodge repairs to electrics to keep things running. He reckoned in todays H&S environment at...

    Doug King Takeover

    I see two problems with the nothing to see here / business as usual line Firstly if the two sides are talking amicably and are close to an agreement why on earth would an eviction notice be issued Secondly one game has already been moved, unless the timing of the game moved to Leamington is a...

    is anyone going to let us know what was said or do we have to guess?

    End of Hummel?

    Fear it will be more complicated than that. There's rules around how many shirt designs you can have in a season I believe so we can't just go off and quickly knock up something new, and even if we could that's a process that normally takes months from the point they start work on it to the...

    Mike Ashley Takeover …Ready and Waiting

    they may do but that's happened to me in the past when the owner of the company decided he'd had enough. not sure there is anything to stop a company deciding to sell off all its assets from a legal pov

    Eviction notice

    Doesn't mean its come from the top, it could be someone who works at the stadium who is passing info on to Gilbert

    Eviction notice

    they seem in a very similar situation to when Wasps decided to take the piss with the price of things like safety offices, hospitality etc. just another example that separating clubs and stadiums is asking for trouble

    Eviction notice

    I take Ashley wanting market rent and not the peanuts we were paying Wasps as meaning it is going up

    Eviction notice

    not sure that gives us much insight, it sounds more like he's read the press releases from the club and Frasers and just filled in the gaps with a similar best guess to most on here personally I see no reason the existing deal can't continue in both terms and length, something the clubs...

    Qatar World Cup 2022

    Apparently she also said Greaves scored a hat trick in the 66 World Cup final on Talk Sport earlier in the day.

    Eviction notice

    The concern has to be if Sepalla and Ashley get into a battle its one Sepalla has little chance of winning but could see a huge amount of damage done to the club. Would anyone be surprised if the 'big three' were sold off on the cheap in January followed by a plunge down the table?

    Eviction notice

    It's hard to say without knowing what any requests were. There's a world of difference between them saying they want the rent lowered for example and wanting some guarantees that the pitch will be relaid as promised in the summer or use of the larger dressing room Wasps kicked us out of. There...

    Hoffman on the CBS Arena board?

    spot on, not sure why so many struggle with the idea that you can think SISU are a fucking nightmare but also not be welcoming Ashley and Hoffman with open arms not sure where all the confidence is coming from that we won't be evicted. as you say if that was the case why wasn't the game at the...
